Where to start. Been busy as everyone else in this world. Had a couple weird dreams about consumerism and they made me really think about the impact consumerism has on our society. Why do we want certain things, where we expand most of our energy, where most of our thoughts are, why we see something cool or beautiful and immediatly want it before enjoying it for what it is. We are an impulsive society that has a bad case of consumerism. What would happen if we took that energy and gave more back to our society. Instead of hitting the mall or bookstore going to the soup kitchen, instead of buying that flat screen TV we don't need feeding a family for a couple months, instead of thinking of ways to buy that next product thinking of ways we can help others and the list goes on and on.
Challenge for the week: Calculate how many times you think of purchasing something vs. how many times you think of helping somebody else or doing something good for society. You will probably be as suprised as I was.
